1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Syphilis is a bacterial infection commonly transmitted by sexual contact. It has variable manifestations and can mimic other disease processes or infections. This report presents the case of a 48-year-old HIV-positive male who was referred to our head and neck clinic with complaints of tonsillar hypertrophy and ulceration accompanied by a one-month history of ipsilateral cervical lymphadenopathy and facial pain in the setting of recent unexplained weight loss and abnormal radiographic imaging of the neck. In-office tonsillar biopsy and fine-needle aspiration of a neck mass revealed a non-diagnostic atypical lymphoid proliferation. Surgical pathology following an open biopsy in the operating room showed
